DAXMaintainabilityLow
Deeply nested IF
"Deeply nested IF" is one of the maintainability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n expression(s) nest IF three levels or more. It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Replace nested IF chains with SWITCH(TRUE(), cond1, r1, cond2, r2, …, default).
What is detected
n expression(s) nest IF three levels or more. Nested IFs are hard to read and each branch re-evaluates its condition.
Why it matters
Hygiene and maintainability. Fix when touching the object.
How to fix it
Replace nested IF chains with SWITCH(TRUE(), cond1, r1, cond2, r2, …, default).
